Our friends were giving us a tour of the Temple area and narrating the area, some of it's history and said "Hey, you have to check this place out!". Gilgal Gardens is an interesting place and has colorful stories about it's origins. We were amazed by the statues, scriptures and rock that was used, including Rose Quartz.

We visited this unusual pocket park which includes a number of folk art pieces relating to Mormonism. Since I am not LDS, much of the meaning was lost on me. But, I still very much enjoyed the work of the artist. In many ways, it reminded us of the "Garden of Eden" in Lucas, Ks. An oddity that you will...

This was definitely a quirky little sculpture garden. The weirdness of it made it cool. The sphinx was the highlight for me, although I also liked the beehive under the weeping willow. Other pieces were a little more of a challenge to understand and some I just did not get at all. The garden is small but peaceful and pleasant....

This tiny park will have you scratching your head as to why Joesph Smith's head is on a sphynx or what some of the sayings carved on the paving stones even mean.

Small sculpture garden...weird but we'll worth a visit. The gardens are beautiful. The entrance way is a gray fence, which you can easily miss. It looks like a pocket Park from the entrance. I believe the building to the right is a day care center.

Even though I have known about Gilgal Gardens for years I never visited it until Labor Day. What an amazing and odd place. Gilgal's creator, Mr. Childs, tried to put his beliefs in an art form and his art is stone and metal. He has carved poetry verses, the words to LDS hymns and scripture into stone. I find this...

This is a unique, small garden area with a lot of sculptures and quotes/verse sprinkled throughout the area. It took us about fifteen minutes to browse. I liked the interpretive designs/sculptures. I loved the flower gardens too.

I believe my expectations were too high for this, having recently visited the Minnesota Art Park. Yes, there are cute statues, and the biblical readings on the rocks were fun to read. However, I think our total visit lasted about 20 minutes. Even the pictures on trip advisor made it look like there were more statues than there really were....
